   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +

G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
D|-5-----5-3-----/-6--------------|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +

Play that pattern twice.


First chorus (a little different from other choruses)

                   Eb              D               G        F       Bb               Eb              D
G|-------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------------------|
D|-------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------------------|
A|-------------|-------------------------------|-----------------1-----------1--|-----------------------------|
D|-------------|1-------------1-0-------------0|-5-----5-3-----3---------------0|1---------------0------------|
  1   +   2   + 1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   + 

   C               D
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-----3-3---3-/-5-------------------------------|
D|-----------------0-------------------------------|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    5   +   6   +


Play verse pattern twice again.


Next, you play the chorus 8 times.
                                   ________________________________________
   Eb              D              / First and third times, play this ending.
G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|-----------------1-----------1--|
D|-1-------------1-0-------------0|-5-----5-3-----3---------------0|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +  
 
  _________________________________
 / Second time, use this ending.
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|-3-----3-3---3-0-1-----1-1---1--|
D|-------------------------------0|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   + 


Then, on the 4th time, you will end it the following way.
But on the the 5th-8th times, you leave out the Eb and D, and play ONLY the ending part.

It might sound complex when I explain it, but if you listen to the song you'll know what I mean.


                       		   For this measure, make up a simple fill using 5ths and octaves of D.
G|---------------------------------|-----------------|
D|---------------------------------|-----------------|
A|-3-----3-3---3-0-1-----1-1---1-/-|-5-----5-5---5---|
D|---------------------------------|---0-0-----0---0-|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +     1   +   2   +

As an example, here's a fill you could use:
G|-----------------|
D|---7-------------|
A|-5---5---5-5-5---|
D|-------0-------0-|
   1   +   2   +  


Then it goes in to the guitar solo. Bass plays:
(9/8 time)
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------3-----------3-----------|
A|-3---2-------0-------2h3---------------------------------------------0---|
D|-------------------------5---4-------3-------3---3-------3---3-----------|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   5   +   6   +   7   +   8   +   9   +

Play that 6 times.

Then:
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
D|-3/5-5--------------------------|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   + 

(A short, simplified verse as drums rest)

   G               Bb               F               E               
G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------|
D|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------|
A|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|-----------------|
D|-5-------------/-8-----------8\-|-3---------------2--------------|-----------------|
   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +    1   +   2   +    


Next go to the chorus. Do the same series of endings as you did in the chorus before the guitar solo,
but just go on a little bit longer at the end.

Then end with this bit.
(9/8 time for one measure)

   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   5   +   6   +   7   +   8   +   9   +
